Completed by: Filing Location: Version: Date: Spectrum Systems HCC Tool Template NQF Hospital Performance Measures Group II Scorecard Page 3 of 3 Basic Level • In the first report, Hospital Care National Performance Measures (Group 1), the NQF recommended 37 measures in six areas to evaluate the quality of healthcare provision. During the review of this report, 28 additional measures were recommended, beyond the general concerns addressed in Group 1, and ultimately the NQF held a workshop on October 17-18, 2002 to discuss and evaluate these new measures, as well as the six that had been ear-marked for discussion by the Board of Directors earlier that month. • In this workshop, the NQF voted on and officially endorsed 17 of the 34 measures discussed. All six of the Group 1 measures passed, as well as 11 new ones, most of which dealt with “Patient Safety.” • Definitions of the MSP: • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Usually caused by atherosclerosis and high blood pressure, this condition is a swelling of the aorta just below the renal arteries, in the abdominal area. Killing 15,000 people per year, AAA is the 13th leading cause of death in the United States. • Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Coronary Syndrome is the term given to any kind of myocardial ischemia, or blockage of blood flow to the heart, usually resulting in angina or heart attack. Three of the four measures in this area were initially proposed in Group 1, but were deferred to the October 17-18 workshop, at which they all passed. • Cerebrovascular Disease: Cerebrovascular disease refers to any of a number of conditions affecting the flow of blood inside the brain. The most common problem associated with the cerebrovascular system is a stroke, which occurs when one of the passages in the brain is blocked, usually due to ischemia or high blood pressure. As there is only one measure in this area, this refers to the raw number of endarterectomy (opening of the blood vessel to physically remove plaque) procedures performed. • Patient Safety: This area contains the majority of new measures proposed in Group 2, and deals primarily with the use of restraints, falls, urinary catheter ventilator utilization, and nosocomial infection rates. • Pediatric Conditions: Contains two measures, originally proposed in Group 1, but not passed until the NQF Workshop, October 17-18, 2002. These are: • Pediatric heart surgery volume: Raw number of pediatric heart surgeries performed. • Pediatric heart surgery mortality: Number of deaths per 100 heart surgeries in patients under age 18 years.
